Juvenile Booked After Hitting Mother with Bucket

A 13-year-old was placed in police custody and booked at the Nueces County Juvenile Center after she assaulted her mother. The 39-year-old mother who was visibly upset told police her daughter became angered after she was disciplined for running away.

The mother took her daughter's new pair of shoes away and she retaliated by throwing a bucket at her. The victim was struck in the elbow. The suspect fled outside and attempted to shatter the victim's front windshield to her vehicle. Police found the mother and daughter outside still quarreling.

The juvenile was charged with Assault-Family Violence which is a Class "A" Misdemeanor punishable by a year in jail and fine up to $1,000.
